Question about NUCCA
Hi everyone,
I've got a quick question for anyone who has received a NUCCA and felt better from it. Did you immediately notice a difference in headaches? Or did they gradually fade away? I'm 3.5 months in, still have headaches that seem to have gotten worse, or at least different after a backpacking trip that my doctor OK'd 3 weeks ago (rubber band type tension headaches on both sides of my head whereas before they were only on the left side, where I fell and hit), some difficulty concentrating, times of feeling really depressed and hopeless that I'll never get better, and overall just not feeling like myself. I had been really anxious about getting PCS early on, and had trouble sleeping and was put on klonopin for 2 months, which I'm thankfully off now. The anxiety has subsided, as this is already taking longer than I'd hoped, but still there somewhat.
My doctor (a concussion specialist) thought my headaches could be cervinogenic, so I decided to see a NUCCA chiropractor, and got my first adjustment today. So far I don't really notice a difference in headaches, although my mood does seem to be better, and some numbness in my left jaw and ear lobe that I've had for 2ish months has diminished. I know it might take time, so I haven't lost hope yet (although I'm still not completely sold on all aspects of NUCCA), and was wondering what people here experienced. Thanks in advance.
